Yet, at the far end of the square, Kelechi was already arranging his baskets of fresh tomatoes, onions and peppers. He whispered to his neighbour, 'I must finish before the trucks arrive; the road is still muddy and the buyers are already on their way to the city.'"

Based on the passage, why did Kelechi decide to sell his produce early rather than waiting for the usual market crowd? Provide a concise explanation.
